JELLY-BAG HOLDER- Application led February 21, 1927. Serial No. 169,934.

The present invention relates to improvements in holders for jelly bags, or the like, and its particular object is to provide a convenient means for holding a bag used for straining juice or other liquids from a crushed mass of fruit, or other ingredients.

It is particularly proposed for this purpose to provide two telescoping rings between which the marginal section of a bag may be clamped so that the bag is suspended therefrom. It is further proposed to provide suitable and convenient means for supporting the two rings. It is further proposed to arrange the two Vrings relative to one another so that telescoping engagement may be easily effected. It is a further object of the invention to provide a device of the character described that is simple and may be operated without difficulty.

Further objects and advantages of my invention will appear as the specification proceeds.

The preferred form of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 shows a perspective view of my bag holder with a bag clampingly supported therein;

Figure 2 a top plan view my holder; and

Figure 3 a vertical section of the arrangement illustrated in Figure 1.

While I have shown only the preferred form of the invention, it should be understood thatvarious changes or modifications may be made within the scope of the claims hereto attached without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In its preferred form my device comprises an inner ring l'having a radial supporting arm 2 extending therefrom, with a gooseneck 3 formed in the supporting arm adjacent the ring and the outer end of the supporting arm turned downwardly at right angles to provide a vertical shaft 11 adapted of a. portion of for introduction from the top into a suit-A able bearing 6 formed in a bracket 7 adapted to be secured to the wall 8, or any supporting structure by means of screws 9. A second ring 11 of slightly larger diameter than the first ring is presented with two spaced and parallel projections 12 adapted to straddle the arm 2 and to be pivoted thereto by means of a bolt 13. The latter is held in place by means of anut 14 threaded on the free end thereof, and a small hump 16 is formed in the outer face of one of the projections 12 to engage the head of the bolt 13 and to prevent'turning motion thereof. The pivot for the second ring is arranged so that the gooseneck 3 previously referred to lies between the pivot and the two rings'.

The outer ring 11 has a finger-grip 16 extending radially therefrom at a place opposite the arm 2 and this finger-grip extends inwardly over the top face of the ring 11, as shown at 17, to form a stop limiting the telescoping engagement.

In use the shaft 4 is introduced into the bearing 6 so that the inner ring extends hori- Zontally from the arm 2. 'Ihe upper end of a bag 18 is then introduced through the inside of the inner ring from the bottom, whereupon the marginal portion of the bag is turned over the inner ring, the arm 2 not interfering with this arrangement due to the goosenecl: 3 formed therein. The outer ring 11 is then swung downwardly on its pivot to telescope over the first ring and to clamp the material of the bag between the two rings. The stop 17 limits the telescoping engagement. The mass to be strained may now be placed into the bag 18 and be allowed to remain therein until the juice or liquid has been strained therefrom. If it is desired to speed up the operation,y the bag may be twisted and squeezed for forcibly ejecting the liquid. To remove the bag it is only necessary to hold the same with one hand while lifting the outer ring by means of the finger-grip 16, and swinging the same upwardly on the bolt 13, whereupon the bag slides away from the inner ring and may be emptied. If it is desired the entire arrangement may be lifted out of the bracket 7 as a unit and thev contentsof the bag dropped by turning over the rings and suitably manipulating the bag.

I claim:

1. In combination, a supported bracket presenting a vertical guideway, a rod adapted to slide into the guideway having an arm extending horizontally therefrom, a horizontal ring on the end of said arm,l a second ring pivoted to the arm so as to telescope on the first ring, a finger-grip extending from the second ring diametrically opposite the arm and a stop lying in the plane of said second-ring and associated therewith lilnit- :md a finger grip carried by said ring and ing the teiescoping engagement ofthe rings. being disposed diainetricaiiy opposite the 10 2. A bag holder comprising@supporting pivot point of said ring, said finger grip arm having' a circular-shaped portion and Va, carrying a stop for limiting the teiescoping 5 gooseneok Connecting said portion Withsaid Vengagement of said ring` upon said circular arm, a ring for telescoping over `said circular portion. portion and being pivoted to said arm a-t'the .juncture of said arm with said geoseneek, Y CLYDE P.
